If you had to choose only one main infantry, which one would you spam and why?

Why are you spamming in the first place? spamming penals will allow your opponent to really screw you over with 222s or mechanized assault groups. Going only guards is a huge man power drain and they get countered by combined arms.

Penals can't do anything to vehicles while Guards can button and do a little damage, so Guards.

Guards are pretty good against infantry with DPs, and they have a more useful grenade. Also they can hold off the scout car.

I know that the 1v1 meta they keep talking about is sniper guards.

But I am rarely seeing guards in my (limited) 1v1 play


In the 3v3 and up games that most people actually play I'm hardly seeing any guards this patch.

With Blitz nerfed and Soviet Armour actually useable in this patch there does not seem a lot of reason to use them whereas beforehand button was really useful.


Penals are my go to unit right now, but I rarely build more than 2

I say in 1v1s at nades + mines are much better and cheaper than Guards.

What if I told you spamming both Penals and Guards is a legit strategy.

Guards Long Range DPS. Penals cant justify their DPS with their Lack of any form of AT plus they come in a nice building that also lacks AT of any kind.
